Amsterdam, The Netherlands and Roanoke, US –
Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health
technology, and Carilion Clinic, a not-for-profit health care
organization serving more than one million people in the States of
Virginia and West Virginia, today announced Carilion will adopt the
Philips cardiovascular care ecosystem of solutions at the future
home of its Cardiovascular Institute at Crystal Spring Tower.
Carilion’s new facility will have 11 specialized Philips
interventional suites, allowing physicians to treat patients with
complex cardiovascular conditions closer to home while optimizing
the clinical, operational and overall performance of the health
system’s cardiovascular service line. This investment illustrates
Carilion’s commitment to empowering its clinicians with innovative
technology to provide quality care for its communities.
Carilion’s comprehensive hospital network, primary and specialty
physician practices and other complementary services deliver
high-quality, patient-centered care. The flagship hospital,
Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, totals 718 beds. The Carilion
Clinic Cardiovascular Institute will relocate to this new facility
and provide state-of-the art heart, lung and vascular services to
the region. Services include inpatient nursing care, cardiovascular
ORs, cardiac catheterization and electrophysiology labs.
Along with caring for the local community, Carilion Roanoke
Memorial Hospital is the major referral center and only Level 1
Trauma Center for patients in the region who require specialized
medical care. It also has the only hybrid operating rooms available
in Southwest Virginia. Equipped with these new Philips solutions,
the highly skilled medical staff will be able to continue handling
complex cases or procedures that may not be available at
surrounding healthcare facilities.
“At Carilion Clinic, we are committed to improving the health of
the communities we serve. We know that collaboration is an
essential component to realizing this vision,” said Marguerite
Underwood, Vice President for the Carilion Clinic Cardiovascular
Institute. “Working with Philips ensures that we will be able to
set the standard in cardiovascular care, not only today, but well
into the future.”
The new labs are the foundation of the integrated Philips
ecosystem of solutions for cardiovascular care and include the
Philips Azurion Image-Guided Therapy System, along with EPIQ CVx
cardiology ultrasound system with ultrasound enabled AI
capabilities, IntraSight with SyncVision for IVUS imaging and
physiology and interventional tools. Together, the technology
provides exceptional imaging with reduced X-ray dose [1], improved
workflow and more efficient turnaround times [2], offering a high
level of clinical confidence. A service program will reduce
maintenance complexity, keeping systems up to date with the latest
software. Furthermore, Carilion will be able to leverage ongoing
clinical education for its staff.
“For many years, Carilion has been recognized for delivering
exceptional cardiac care. Maintaining the highest standard of care
means continuous growth and innovation, making healthcare delivery
more efficient and effective,” said Jeff DiLullo, Chief Region
Leader, Philips North America. “The Crystal Spring Tower expansion
illustrates Carilion’s commitment to its staff and patients, giving
clinicians access to world-class technology while providing a level
of care not available anywhere else in the region.”
[1] In 37 individual comparative studies, Philips ClarityIQ was
associated with reductions in patient radiation exposure. The
results of the application of dose reduction techniques will vary
depending on the clinical task, patient size, anatomical location
and clinical practice. The interventional radiologist assisted by a
physicist as necessary has to determine the appropriate settings
for each specific clinical task.[2] Results from study conducted at
St. Antonius Hospital. Results verified by NAMSA, independent
third-party expert on study design and analytics. Results are
specific to the institution where they were obtained and may not
reflect the results achievable at other institutions.
